The 2026 maritime season in Quebec saw significant activity across ferry services and competitive sailing. 

The Société des traversiers du Québec reported a strong summer season, particularly for the L'Isle-aux-Coudres and Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive ferry link, which transported over 325,000 passengers and 156,520 vehicles with a 99% reliability rate. Additionally, the Rimouski to Blanc-Sablon service, operated by Relais Nordik, completed 18 voyages transporting 8,111 passengers to support isolated Côte-Nord communities and Anticosti Island.

Concurrently, the Quebec sailing season concluded with record-breaking participation in various regattas. The Quebec Sailing Federation's circuit included events such as Festivoile, the TRY regatta, and Écovoile, the latter of which set a new record with nearly 60 vessels. The 12th Coupe Femina also saw growth, featuring 215 participants in races including a 10 to 12-hour night race on the St. Lawrence River.
